REAL LIFE THUG!!! VH1 REALITY STAR CHARGED WITH MURDER!!!

January 14, 2011. Baron ``Dirty'' Colon was one of the contestants on VH1s reality show, From Gs To Gents. And MediaTakeOut.com learned that he was just charged with MURDERING somebody.

Here’s how the Miami Herald is reporting things:
Colon, 24, of Miami Gardens, was a finalist on the second season of MTV's From G's to Gents, which offered $100,000 to the ``real'' gangster who most turned his life around. He competed against 15 contestants on the show, which claims to transform ``rough-around-the-edges young men'' into dapper, successful gentlemen.

He is charged in the January 2006 slaying of artist Marcelo Vera, and according to police was a suspect in the case even as he jetted off to Los Angeles to tape the show.

Investigators got a break last year when a confidential informant secretly recorded Colon confessing to intimate details only the killer would know, according to an arrest warrant filed in court.

Colon is jailed with no bond on charges of first-degree murder and armed burglary. He faces arraignment Jan. 28 in Miami-Dade circuit court.
